Hopkins Backup Cameras and Alarms - HM60100VA

Mounted behind the rear license plate, the NVision Back-up Sensor System detects objects up to 5-1/2 feet away and alerts you with an audible alarm.

Backup camera relays images to the full-color, 3.5" LCD screen that is built into the included rearview mirror. LEDs surround the watertight camera for night vision. Camera mounts to license plate, and mirror fits most factory mounting plates.

Today we're going to be taking a look at part number HM60100VA. This is the Hopkins Backup Sensor System with an Audible Alert. This is going to detect objects and start to beep up to 5-1/2" feet away, helping to reduce blind spots around the vehicle. It's going to feature two sensors, you're going to have a left and right sensor. These are adjustable simply by loosening up the mount screws. It's going to allow you to adjust the sensors. Here in the instructions it's going to come with a chart. It's going to show you the best angle to mount the sensors or to adjust them to, depending on your particular vehicle.

It's going to have an audible warning alarm, that unit right here. This is going to beep more frequently as objects enter each of the three alert zones. If you look closely there's a little gap right here. This is going to be a volume switch on the alarm with a high and low setting. This is going to allow you to adjust to fit your preference.

The speed of the beeping noise increases as you transition from zone to zone. It's going to have three zones; you're going to have safe zone, caution zone and danger zone. This unit is designed to mount behind the license plate. The license plate goes directly on top of it. It's got the holes that should line up with any standard license plate. The bracket should fit in any standard license plate mount. The overall width of the unit measuring from end-to-end is going to measure 13-1/8" and the overall height is going to measure about 6".

The mounting holes are going to be separated center on center by 7" going that direction, and center on center going this direction about 4-3/4". It's going to come with some cable so you're going to have one cable coming from the mount itself. It's got a little arrow indicator on it. The connector that it goes into has an arrow indicator on it. You just line up those two arrows and snap it together. It's going to signify the connection is being made the way it should.

Then you're going to have another wire right here that's going to connect to the audible alarm. Then you're going to have an exposed red wire and black wire. The red wire is going to tap into the reverse light function on your vehicle. The black wire is going to be a ground connection. They make it really easy to make the connections giving you a couple quick splice connectors to tap into the wiring. You're also going to get some 3M double sided adhesive tape, mounts to the back of the audible alarm. That way you can stick it to a nice clean surface. It's going to come with the mounting screws to go through the license plate, through the mount and into the vehicle. It's going to come with a rubber grommet to seal up the hole that goes around the wiring. This unit is going to draw 620 milliamps. It's made with a weather proof design so it will hold up well in different weather conditions. It's going to be safe to run it through the car wash. Again, your red wire is going to be the reverse function wire. The black wire is going to be the ground wire. I did say earlier it is a do-it-yourself installation. The instructions are pretty detailed; they're pretty easy to follow. They're going to go step by step and allow you to get this thing installed on your particular vehicle. That way you can be more aware of your surroundings and reduce the blind spots that you may have. That's going to do it for our review of part number HM60100VA. This is the Hopkins Backup Sensor. .

Order: Mounted behind the rear license plate, the NVision Back-up Sensor System detects objects up to 5-1/2 feet away and alerts you with an audible alarm.

Installed on 2015 Kia Sorento. My particular installation was simple . I new it would be , that is why I chose this product. My backup lights are located on the back door hatch. Removed three small opening covers and exposed the opening to the light wiring and gained access to " fish wire and connector through, without removing paneling. Connections were literally a "snap". All was achieved within the back door panel. The unit seems to work fine but is lacking corner activation, which is to be expected with only two sensors. My particular application will not sense a small dog even when sensors are pitched lowest possible.( high licence plate). Had to disconnect and reconnect connector with white alignment dots numerous times before unit worked properly. Overall, I would say it functions very well . It is very adequate for my needs and at a reasonable price. I Couldn't give it 5 stars because of the connector problem. How it does in the future. only time will tell .

It it not perfect because it is limited to certajn degree. It would work better if my placement would have allowed for it to be a little bit lower. I am still very happy with the purchase and would definately recommend it. It is still a great help to me.

I have used this product before with good results. I have a 2007 Toyota Solara and it has limited visual rear viewing. A back-up motion sensor is a must on this vehicle. It didn't take me very long to install it since I was familiar with the installation. I have only used this particular sensor as of today and it seems to work very well. I would like to commend your company for the extremely fast turnaround time from order placement to delivery. Your communication was excellent, your price was fair and I definitely would do business with you again.
Thanks again.

I’ve had this back up camera and alarm system which has worked great , I especially like the sensor system with the audible beep , set up an installation are relatively easy and instructions are very good ,only one hiccup the sensor stopped working after a few months. I contacted e trailer and their customer service was fantastic extremely helpful and sent me out a brand new unit No questions asked and it has worked flawless ever since !! If you’re looking for an economical way to have a back up camera and back up sensors this is definitely the way to go. Thanks again to E trailer for the fantastic customer service

I have purchased four backup camera systems over the last three years or so. Only one time has a system malfunctioned. Customer service took care of the issue immediately and without need for explanation. As long as I can purchase these systems manufactured by Hopkins and sold by etrailer.com, I will continue to purchase them as needed. They hold up great. I’ve had one system for over two years. Never had an issue with it. Way better than the cheap ones. These backup camera systems are priced very reasonably on etrailer. Each system I’ve purchased is installed on a separate vehicle (total of four). Easy to install as well.

Easy installation on a Ford Sport Trac--added about 5 feet of speaker wire due to the length of the pickup bed. The speaker, hidden behind the back seat, is loud enough to hear clearly. Works well and makes parking a large vehicle much easier.

Product is useful. I bought it to help get the distance when backing up to a smaller car with my SUV. It works pretty well for that purpose. Occasionally I get false alarms when backing up with nothing close to my vehicle. All and all it served my purpose.

Raymond,Thank you for your review.This back up system has sensors that are made to be able to adjust the angle. The mounting location of the sensors may be an issue. If the sensors are detecting parts of the vehicle then you may be getting false alarm beeps. This may be happening if the angle of the sensors are detecting the sides of the mounting location or the angle of the sensors are detecting the bumper. It is possible to mount the unit upside down so the sensors are on the bottom but that will block some of the range of the sensors.

After a couple of weeks searching for a backup alert kit, I gave up because of the need to drill holes through the bumper. When I found etrailer backup kit, it did not require drilling. After I installed the kit, it works great and looks very clean. Great product.

installed license plate backup sensor today, easy to install on my 2016 silverado. tried backing up to various

Order was filled promptly. The plate was easy to install, because it was installed on a SUV with the back-up lights in the hatch. The product is somewhat limited to about five feet behind the vehicle and does not have much side to side detection.

I had purchased front parking sensors for my 2018 Mercedes Benz 300 GLC (why in the world on this car, no front parking sensors) and it cost me $265 to have them installed. I found the HOPKINS backup sensors on [another site] and because of shipping (so I could return if needed) I purchased it, even though more expensive for my 2018 Honda Ridgeline for the front (the rear had sensors installed). My local auto shop charged me $50 for installation. Total...a little over $90. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I have since bought another set from etrailers for the front of my 2014 Nissan 370Z. It is so low to the ground that I installed a wireless camera from GARMIN on the front license bracket. Because the HOPKINS worked so well on my Ridgeline, this seemed like a great solution for when I do not take the time to hook up the Garmin GPS in my vehicle. BIG difference in price of sensors.
Bottom line...Buy it, you will really like it....

Extremely fast delivery. Simple installation on my 2005 Nissan Altima. I like the
product because it eliminates drilling holes in the bumper. I found the audible
alarm cable to be about 6' shorter than I needed. I easily spliced in a cable extension.
Product worked well. Well worth the price.

Dear Customer Service,
The rating section would not accept a mark, but I place the product as excellent. It was easy to install as the instructions are straight forward, and I have now installed the Hopkins system on two of my Ford F-150s. I have a factory unit on my latest Ford F150, which had a camera only. I missed the sensor system, and I had to install it on my 2015 F150. The Hopkins Backup Camera and Sensor system is comparable to the factory system, but a lot less expensive. I would not be without it on any of my vehicles. Thanks etrailer for your support and excellent service.

It says it detects objects up to 5/12 ft away. I could only get it to detect 4 ft away, even after adjusting the sensors.. It doesn't detect off to the corners of the rear bumper very well. You better be backing up slow, because 4 ft isnt a lot of reaction time. Instructions were good and installed rather easy. I give it a mediocre score due to the limited range.

I received the Hopkins Backup Sensor System HM60100VA within 4 days. That was very fast. I installed the Backup sensor on my front license plate, because I have factory installed rear sensors. I am going to install a switch so that I can turn it off when I don't need it. When the sensor is mounted in the front it is very sensitive, it beeps a lot. I will only use it when I park.

First of all etrailer is great; prompt shipping and immediate e-mail notifications throughout the purchase process. The unit was easy to install once we figured out the backup light color code for my 2011 Dodge Challenger (white w/light green stripe). It works great! Almost invisable; does not detract from the looks of the vehicle.

Everything works as expected. Very nice. Very easy splice/crimping device included for tying into the reverse light wire. Wish the cable for the audible alarm device was longer. Pretty much has to remain in your trunk (sedan). Maybe that is the intended location?, it is loud enough to hear it in trunk when you turn the volume to high.

Needed a parking sensor for the front of my 2017 Ford F250 FX4. It is hard to judge the distance from a vehicle in front when parking. I did not want to drill any holes in the bumper. This is the perfect solution. Sensors and controller simply bolt to the front license plate holder, picked up power from one of my upfitter switches under hood and ran speaker wire through the firewall grommet. I mounted the speaker under the driver-side dash. So far the system is working great.

Installation was easy and this product works great. The wires are too short for a full size pickup but I easily lengthened them so that they would reach to the cab.

I am very pleased and would recommend it to anyone.

Yes, the Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount, item # HM60100VA, can be mounted upside down.

The Back Up sensor is designed to start beeping when you are approximately 5-1/2 feet away from an obstacle. I have contacted Hopkins, who tells me that the sensitivity is not adjustable. They did mention that the angle of the sensors themselves can be adjusted. If they are aimed so that they are pointing straight back from the rear of the vehicle, objects that are closer to the ground might not be picked up, especially on taller vehicles.
I would recommend adjusting the sensors so...view full answer...

I looked at some photos of the 2011 Avalon, and it appears that the reverse lights are located on the trunk lid, along with the license plate where the sensors attach. This will make the installation easier.
First, find a location in the passenger cab to locate the audible alarm. The package shelf behind the rear seats would be a good spot. Route the wire into the trunk area. The wire will follow the hinge (in such a way so that it does not get pinched) and route along the underside...view full answer...

You would need to access the reverse light wiring that connects to either tail light on your 2007 Toyota Tundra. You can access the rear of the tail light by opening the tailgate and unbolting the light from the truck.
You will want to use a circuit tester like part # 40376 to verify which wire carries the reverse light signal. After verifying which wire carries the reverse light signal, you will connect the wire for the Hopkins Backup Sensor # HM60100VA.view full answer...

The Hopkins Backup Sensor System, # HM60100VA, will wire into the reverse light circuit on your 2013 Toyota Avalon. You will need to use a circuit tester, # ALL640595 if you need one, to locate the reverse light wire behind one of the tail lights. Then you will ground the other wire to a bare metal surface. From there everything just plugs in.
The license plate holder part plugs into the main harness. The main harness will wire in to the reverse light circuit and ground to the vehicle....view full answer...

To get the wire from the license plate bracket through the lift gate of your 2014 Chevy Equinox you can look for a hole possibly on the underside of the lift gate handle area, or most likely you will have to drill a hole to route the wire.
If you can I would recommend you drill through a plastic area possibly around a light fixture or the handle instead of through the painted portion. Drilling through a painted portion wouldn't be that big of a deal, but anytime you can minimize modifying...view full answer...

I do have an option for you but the Hopkins Backup Sensor System part # HM60100VA will only work effectively if mounted in the center of the vehicle and not with offset mounted license plates like the one on your Jeep Wrangler.
Instead, I recommend taking a look at the Wireless Backup Sensor for Hopkins Rear View Camera part # HM20195-VACLEN which can detect objects up to 6' away and has a digital display to tell you how far away those objects are. The sensors will need to be mounted...view full answer...
